Default Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)

I agree with you Ken, however, I think there are too many people who take any opportunity to downplay the authenticity & value of other people's cars. I'm afraid many self proclaimed experts compile information from a variety of sources, some accurate, some not, and, combine it with some urban myth that has been created over time. When presented as confidently as these people do, it comes off as absolute fact. Haven't we learned that when it comes to these cars, there is very little that is "absolute"?

As far as the Harrell funny cars, first there was only one. Then there was a "rumor" of a second. Now, maybe there are three. Maybe the people with the cars that are "verified" are simply protecting their own investment by making claims of exclusivity.
Knowing the time spent by the two Gibb ladies, and, the details they looked for and observed on Tim's car, I think further investigation is justified. To dismiss a car, or at least the body, based on what some people say, perhaps for their own financial gain, isn't fair. Maybe we can wait for all the facts to be discovered before we pass judgement on any of these issues.
